With his wife dead and buried, and life nearly over at 75, John Perry takes the only logical course of action left: he joins the army. Now better known as the Colonial Defense Force (CDF), Perry's service-of-choice has extended its reach into interstellar space to pave the way for human colonization of other planets while fending off marauding aliens. The CDF has a trick up its sleeve that makes enlistment especially enticing for seniors: the promise of restoring their youth. After bonding with a group of fellow recruits who dub their clique the Old Farts, Perry finds himself in a new body crafted from his original DNA and upgraded for battle, including a brain-implanted computer. But all too quickly the Old Farts are separated, and Perry must fight for his life on various alien-infested battlegrounds. 'Scalzi's astonishingly proficient first novel reads like an original work by the late grand master, Robert A. Heinlein' Publishers Weekly 'Delivers fast-paced scenes of combat, and pays attention to the science underpinning his premise' San Francisco Chronicle

Descrizione libro Paperback: 7" x 4½". Condizione: Very Good: Light signs of wear. Cover Art: John Harris (illustratore). 2007 Edition. © 2005: 1st in the 'Old Man's War' series of books. Unknown publication date. 3rd printing of 2007 edition:- Synopsis: John Perry did two things on his seventy-fifth birthday. First he visited his wife's grave. Then he joined the army. The good news for humanity is that we have finally made it into interstellar space, The bad news is that there are few planets out there fit to live on - and plenty of alien races willing to compete for them. Therefore we must fight: to defend Earth itself, and to stake our claim to planetary living space. Far from Earth this conflict has been going on for decades, brutal, bloody and unyielding. Earth itself is now a backwater, with the bulk of humanity's resources in the hands of Colonial Defense Forces. But you cannot join the CDF until you reach retirement age because they don't want young people; only those with the knowledge and skills amassed during decades of living. Once you join CDF, you'll be taken off Earth and never allowed to return. First come two years at the front and, if you survive, you'll be given a generous homestead stake of your own on one of those hard-won colony planets. When John Perry agrees to this deal, he has only the vaguest idea of what to expect. Because, light-years from home, the actual fight he faces is harder than he could imagine. And what he himself will become is far stranger still:- Review(s): "Scalzi's astonishingly proficient first novel reads like an original work by the late grand master, Robert A Heinlein" - Publishers Weekly / "Delivers fast-paced scenes of combat" - San Francisco Chronicle / "Thought-provoking" - Entertainment Weekly / "I enjoyed 'Old Man's War' immensely. A space war story with fast action, vivid characters, moral complexity and cool speculative physics" - Ken MacLeod / "His speculative elements are top-notch. His combat scenes are blood-roiling. His dialogue is suitably snappy" - Paul DiFilippo, Washington Post:- (original cost £6.99). Codice articolo 19.003.00020
